A New Venture

Posted by Hans de Ruiter

I have a small confession to make: I had an ulterior motive when creating this website. Back then, I knew that I wanted to start and run my own company one day, and that the company's website would be a very important part of the overall system. In order to prepare for this, I wanted to learn how to run a website with online services; both the technical and human aspects (websites are, after all designed to be used by humans). So, this website served as the platform by which I could learn and experiment with building and running a website.

I am pleased to announce that my company, Kea Sigma Delta Limited, was incorporated in November 2011, and is now seeking beta testers for its first product. The first product will be a photo enhancement tool that is designed to help easily correct colour/lighting issues in photographs. If you have an interest in photography, and would like to help test this application, please follow the instructions to register your interest.

A lot of work has gone into getting this far, and there is still much work to be done before the company is fully up and running. Incorporating a company is easy; building a company is not. Nevertheless, it is exciting to get to this stage, and I am looking forward to eventually releasing the first product.

While this new venture will be taking up most of my time (as it already has been for a while), HDRLab will still be operational. This is my personal website, and I intend to keep updating it. I will also be continuing to work on the various projects detailed here (time permitting).
